The #1 place to get music lists on the internet. Where most lists go to ten, I'll do them one better and go to eleven. Some of the lists will be a "best of" (the good), some will be a "worst of" (the bad), and some lists will focus on unknown bands and music (the unknown).

The 11 Best Songs By Cracker

The big news of the day is that White Stripes are breaking up. For good. Or so they say. It's definitely sad news for die hard rock fans. But they're on good terms...and there's only 2 of them. The chances of a White Stripes reunion in the next 5 years probably falls under the category "highly likely."

The big news should really be about the Decemberists hitting number one on the Billboard 100 album charts. Not only have the folk rockers ripped the #1 spot away from the pop divas, 4 out of top 5 slots went to rock albums. Yes, rock and roll won the week. Maybe there is some hope for a new rock music revolution.

Cracker reminds me of a 90s version of Decemberists. They were pigeon-holed with other alternative bands and genre of the decade, but always persevered with their own sound. David Lowery has a respected 25-year career to show for it, Decemberists have a #1 record. I call that a win-win.
